The Brindisi to Igoumenitsa ferry offers one of the shorter Adriatic crossings to Greece, sailing from the historic port at Italy's south-eastern tip to the mainland gateway for Epirus and the Ionian coast. The passage of around eight to nine hours can be taken overnight, letting you board in the evening and arrive ready to explore north-western Greece, with Corfu, Parga and the mountains of Epirus all within easy reach. Brindisi has linked Italy with Greece since antiquity, and the route remains a favourite with drivers and motorhome travellers seeking to avoid the long overland journey through the Balkans. Ferries provide cabins, lounges, restaurants and deck space for the crossing. Sailings run through much of the year, with the heaviest demand in the summer holidays, when reserving ahead is advised. For those in Italy's heel, it is the most direct and time-saving sea route into Greece.
